Last night was my first training session with the Coquitlam Poirier Sun Run training group. Of course it didn’t rain all day but as soon as I started driving towards my run the sky opened up and it started pouring. Luckily I packed my rain jacket!

This was my Sun Run training clinic so I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many people signed up. It was great to see so many people out motivated to get fit. Looking around at the group you could tell there was an abundance of nervous excitement. So many New Year’s resolutions were finally going to be realized. Even though it was dark and wet outside, we had a great turnout…I think we had around 50 people.

After a long day at work I was definitely lacking motivation. I was happy at the point I had signed up for the clinic because I knew if I was relying on my own motivation I never would have gotten outside. Running in the rain was exactly what I needed after a long day. It was so refreshing!

I was wondering ahead of time how transitioning from being a solitary runner to running in a group was going to go but it was actually turned out to be very rewarding…it’s amazing how fast time goes when you are having a great conversation with a fellow runner.

I can tell by my fellow runners that I met last night and the great team leaders we have, it’s going to be an awesome few months!
